A VISIT TO THE SUBURBS.

Last Sabbath morning, in com
pany with II. G. Herrngton and
wife. we rolled out of White Oaks,
and in two hours and a half were
in Nogal, one Of the suburban
villas of the commercial mart,
White Oaks. AS soon as we ar
rived, the hospitallties of Nat
Moore and wife were offered us
and as cordially accepted as prof
fcrcd us.
1t is only a little over two
months since our last visit to NJ
gal, and the evidence OF improve
ment asserted itself on every hand,

Ell Paso, Aug. 9.-Last We'd
nesday the body of a white man in
the old dry river bed at San Eliza
RIO, twenty miles below FL Pas :
1t turned ont to be the body Of IL
man who called himself A. T.
Loomis, and who had been stop
ping with an American family at
San Elizario. He was sick and
feeble, and it is supposed that he
was overcome by the heat while
out walking Monday aud Tuesday,
and died from the effects of it
He had stated that he was a mem
ber OF the Pennsylvania Legislature
about 1850, and claimed that he
had wealthy relatives in that State.
He said he had been sent ont here
by a Philadelphia mining com
pany.
1t has been suggested that the
man above alluded to, was A. ii.
Loolnis, late of Penasco, who lett
there for Mexico recently. lie
was member of the Pennsylva-
MIA legislature in 1861.

For several years, Capt. Jack
Crawford has been holding valu-
able mining claims in the San An
dreas and Oscura ranges Of noun
tains in New Mexico, and has ex-
pended large sum of money in
keeping up the assessment work on
the two groups OF mines, over 40
in number. The frequent raids
of the murderous Apache Indians
have so deferred capitalists from
making investments in that region
that many very valuable claims
have lain idle for lack of dcvelope-
ment capital, but the effective war
fare waged against the hostile
hordes by General Miles, have rem
dered the country entirely safe,
and mining interests will receive
Il healthtul impetus in a short time.
Captain Jack has succeeded in in
teresting Kansas City capital in
his properties, and after the organ
ization OF a staunch company,
work will be pushed on the vari.

DRY GULCH.
Here s where our trouble com.
menced, as the sequel will show.
About 8 o'clock Monday morning
we took shanks horses and pointed
toward Dry Gulch. The first
thing attracting our attention
was the barbarous wire encl0s-
ing what was heretofore known
as Chase & Hockradle's Pla-
GERS. "a small force of men
are engaged in washing gold taken
therefrom, but we did not learn
how profitable the yield is.
Our objective point now was the
Helen Rae works TO reach it
we had to ascend a mountain which
seemed to us higher than that
upon which Satan took Christ to
make real estate dicker. From
the base to apex, it was hard
road to travel. Every step we
took, caused apprehensions lest
our knee would knock out teeth,
and reaching our goal, we regret
ed that a hoist was not provided
for anything but pay dirt. Finally
we got there, but didn't feel a bit
like Eli. Here we were welcomed
by A. n. Anderson, (Charley)
and Mr.. Caruthers, the foreman,
the latter Of whom yielded pleas
antly to our pumping process
Where they (and we) were, was
Baker hoist, pat III place to con
vcy from the depths OF tho tunnel,
ore destined to wear eagles and
contribute to the wealth Of pro
ducers and purchasers. The tun-
mel is to be $50 feet from it's
mouth to intersection with the
shaft, of which distance, about
40 feet are penetrated. The shaft |
is situate 257 feet from the bottom
of the tunnel The mouth of the
tunnel is four feet wide, and runs
clear through on the line of the
ore CARRYING vein, hence all the .
ore extracted is of good paying
and the vein widens as
the distance towards the shaft in
croases. T rails were being laid
in the tunnel, which, when COM
pleted, will canse two, mayhaps !
three shilts to be placed at work.
Development has proved beyond
Il pcradveuturo that there's mil
lions in it." and the purpose is to
pla C a mill on the works in the
near future
That Nogal Is a rich mining cen
ter, admits Of no doubt OF
course, more development work
has been done on the Helen Rae
thm amy other, but visible gold
has been taken from several loca-
t;ous. nptably, the " Philadelphia, "
owned by G. r. Sigel, who has
spent seven OF the best years Of his
life in Nogal, lost an eye there i'll
the prosecution OF honest labor, and |
we hope to hear Of his pocketing
a Aatterng royalty as the product
OF his faithful, perseyC ring work.
